Am I on autism spectrum ? You be the judge

I think I saw that on Extreme Cheapskates. I do admit some things they do are clever such as filling a litre pop bottle with water or sand and putting it in the toilet tank to use less water and I liked the cloth idea and my husband thought it was unsanitary. Some things those people do on the show are disgusting, digging food from dumpsters for one and worst of all feeding it to their guests and there was one family who would collect road kills to eat them and ate weeds as their salad and they had five children living at home for god's sake. And some are way over the top like driving a 1986 pick up truck that would only go 15 MPH and a bunch of guys help the owner push it to the creek and they all fill the barrel up with water because he is too cheap to pay for his own water so he gets his own, and some live like they are poor because they won't get any furniture, they will use their neighbor's phone because they are too cheap to pay for their own service, $3 for a dress at the thrift store was too expensive, and oh boy you will not believe the kind of gifts they will buy their partners and I wonder how can they live this way and put up with this lifestyle. I would have been gone a long time ago and when they are kids involved, I feel angry. I don't feel angry or sorry about their partners because they can make the choice to leave and they can earn their own money and pay for their own stuff and pay the bills and not let their partner control them and dictate them. Kids don't get to make that choice. But at the same time I find this all sad because I have a money obsession too so I can understand what it's like for those people and I am sure they don't choose to be that way but I am not that bad so it makes me feel a lot better about myself. It makes my issue look like nothing and everyone tells me I am cheap but this show makes it look like I am not.

What do you do with "reusable toilet paper" once it is used? Just curious.

I rinse the fleece out in the bath tub with hot water and hang it up to dry over the shower door. Nothing sticks to the fleece very well, so it's easy to clean. It dries quickly and doesn't retain the odor.

The rags (for liquid waste) go into an aluminum wastebasket until laundry day.

Rocket123,

So you're targeting me again with the "shut up, be humble, be respectful" popular bullying refrain. Whilst completely ignoring all the repliers who responded to my OP first with disrespect and inhumility. Wow !

Then you coldly (like the Nazi doctor, Dr. Mengele) proclaim that I don't need support ! I, like mosr of you need support like you have no idea. And how DARE you say that to any memner of this forum. I'd punch you in the face if you were standing in front of me. What you'r doing is an attrocity. Saying "you don't belong" , and "you don't need support, umderstanding, and love" is kind of a war crime against your fellow members on the spectrum, who desperately seek to be accepted and understood . Many ASD have strong social needs, and you being a cold and callous dickhead towards them, based on your weak intellectual understanding of ASD does untold damage, (to ppl you don't even know, why would you do that ?)

Maybe it's because you're comfortable, get easy money somehow, have too much time to spend online, judge others easily (I find this is so true for people in lucky life circumstances), and don't have the spiritual understanding necessary in order to realize what you're doing and prevent yourself from joining the bully gang in beating a man when he's down, desperate, and in REAL need of support and acceptance.

My OP was flawlessly impartial. And I was born a free man. I have the right to rebutt and defend myself against insensitive and aggressive replies. Pretending that a man who is defending himself is the instigator is well-known in modern psychology as the favorite tactic of bullies.

No, I won't re-register (uh, why don't you take your own advice ? lol) and I won't come back like a sneaky rat under another username. I'll leave that type of behavior to you and your kind.

If you can't be kind and understanding, just don't reply to any of my threads in the future.

A better way to respond to my post would be as follows:

Rocket, Thanks for your feedback. I respectfully disagree. I didn't mean to antagonize people. I genuinely want to get help from the community. I apologize, as I am not good at receiving negative feedback. Going forward, I appreciate any positive feedback I receive.

And leave it at that. Good luck in your search.

Dude, most of us are not implying you don't have aspergers we are asking you to put more specific symptoms, the traits that you posted are only TRAITS, they can also be a result of different disorders. Be more specific.

The 3 major symptoms are:
1. Social and Communication difficulties
2. Sensory sensitivities
3 and Obsessions, fixations, narrow intrests, need for routines and rituals

And all these are on DISABLING levels. Keep that in mind.

What she said ^^
Do you feel like your traits are impeding your ability to live a fulfilling life, for example, making it difficult to apply for a job, buy items from the store, make new friends, keep friends that you've already made, and follow/understand conversations?
I hope you find the help you need

Okay OP, feel free to stick around. Just don't expect the antagonistic attitude you have towards anybody with a differing opinion to get you very far in this thread or anywhere else on the site. Nobody here was initially rude to you to cause you to go on some sort of tirade. Best of luck.

Also, to you saying "My OP was flawlessly impartial", while it may have appeared so, you were definitely not impartial to the topic considering how upset you got when Starkid's response apparently was not what you were hoping for (and it wasn't any of the things you considered it, either).

Rocket123,

nothing you say carries any weight.
Makes me chuckle how hard you try to be passive-aggressive.
Can't help but laugh.
A wannabe bully with the brain of an insect doling out advice online (unsolicited no less), lol.

I'm telling you now to refrain from your bad behavior,
and under the rules and conditions of these forums, I have the right to flag all your "replies" as harrassment.

Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't give you the right to harrass said person, no matter your personal feelings towards a person.

Good luck , and hope you find treatment

You're the one fueling the flamewar. If you'd take the time to analyze our posts before bashing on other people's efforts to help you, then we might seem less "aggressive" to you.

Okay...I had some hope and even tried to offer some helpful suggestions, but it's clear now OP just wants to stir things up and then smooth-talk people onto his side to avoid being flagged.

I strongly encourage those who have witnessed a personal attack in any of the OP's posts to report those specific posts (the report button is to the right and under each post).
This is becoming too ridiculous.
I've read them all, and most DO contain personal attacks.

Kaylamiyarne,

Who are you ? I don't remember you.
You know you don't have to be part of this thread,
you can desist from responding.

Sure, I can desist from responding
I've already offered help in the past, but you've ignored those posts and went on to tell other posters in this thread how they're "underneath" you and not worthy of your intelligence, and compare their brains to that of an insect.
Oh, I can desist from responding, but when I see a problem, I choose to address it and not stand by doing nothing.

Umm...Who is harassing who? Who is doing the insulting? Whatever. As I said before, good luck in your search.

Excuse me? You got that backward as per usual.

if I came to one of your threads and said the exact same line to you,
that would be harassment. However, you're on MY thread, bro.
You came here, to me.

You're attacking, and I'm defending my thread.
Maybe you're a Liberal Progressive and don't believe people should have the right to defend themselves. Seems to be a popular irrational, and dangerous dogma these days.

So Cheers !
Here's to You departing my thread for ever more.
A fanciful dream perhaps ?
Oh, what dreams may come . . .

Are you the psychopath that came and created a thread the other day, or otherwise affiliated with them?
